immune system
• B cells exclusively express lambda light chain and not kappa light chain
|
• immature B cells in circulation are at 50-60% of wild-type levels
|
• only lambda light chains are productively rearranged
|
• mature B cells are at 50-60% of wild-type levels in the spleen, blood, and lymph nodes
|
• there is a 2-fold accumulation of small pre- B cells in the bone marrow
|
• the concentration of antibodies containing lamda light chain is 580 micrograms per ml compared to 70 micrograms per ml in wild-type mice
